Аннотация

This article presents the review by Nikolay Ivanovich Veselovsky (1848-1918), a Russian orientalist and expert of Central Asian history and historiography, who critically analyzed French orientalist, Louis-Mathieu Langlès’(1763-1824), work Tamerlan, under the title Zhizn’ Timura [The Life of Timur] in its Russian translation.According to Veselovsky, Langlès made a number of conspicuous and serious mistakes and disregarded the reliable sources available at that time when describing the Mulfuzat Timuy, or the Memoirs of Timur. In addition, Veselovsky expressed his opinion on the role of local sources, particularly from the 14th century in the study of Central Asian history as it pertained to Timur and the Timurids. The article discusses the experience of working with authentic sources from various classics by N. M. Karamzin, S. F. Platonov and other historians whose viewpoints on the principles of textual source criticism maintain their relevance. The review concludes by stating that Langlès essay concerning Timur only triggered more attention toward the study of Central Asian history and the formulation of several pressing themes and questions for Asian studies in Russian among which the critical analysis of sources is of no minor importance.
